In July 2013 three of these had popped up in semi-shade not far from the chicken run; I was afraid the plant/fruit might be toxic so I pulled it up, then had second thoughts. Too late I used my brain to figure the seeds were deposited in the bird droppings; the wild birds (who are not dead, duh
) hang out in that tree quite often.
The plants were growing about 18 inches tall.
Was this some kind of ground cherry?
Thanks.
